Chinggis Khaan International (UBN) is Mongolia’s main international gateway and is positioned as the country’s modern hub for most long‑haul and regional flights. Located roughly 50–55 km southeast of central Ulaanbaatar, it typically hosts the flag carrier alongside a mix of regional and seasonal international operators. Transfers can be lengthier and usually cost more than to the city centre: scheduled airport shuttles and private buses typically take about 60–90 minutes while taxis or private transfers can be quicker depending on traffic, with fares ranging from a few thousand tugriks for shared buses to several ten‑thousands for taxis. Pros: contemporary facilities and broader route options; cons: the longer transfer and possible weather‑related delays.

Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International (SJC) is the city’s main airport and typically serves as a mid-sized domestic and regional international gateway. It usually hosts major U.S. carriers and several low-cost operators, so fares can be competitive for short- to medium-haul routes. SJC is about 3–5 miles from downtown San Jose, with VTA light rail and shuttles linking the terminals in roughly 10–20 minutes; single-ride transit fares are generally low, while taxis or rideshares to downtown can commonly take 10–25 minutes and often fall in a moderate fare range. Pros: compact layout and close city access; cons: fewer long-haul intercontinental options compared with larger Bay Area hubs. San Francisco International (SFO) is the region’s principal international hub and typically offers the widest selection of transoceanic and long-haul flights. It can be a good option for international connections or when searching for lower-priced transcontinental tickets, though it sits farther from San Jose — roughly 40–50 miles by road. Ground travel often involves a combination of BART, Caltrain or shuttle services and can take about 60–90+ minutes depending on transfers and traffic; fares for multi-modal trips typically vary by route. Pros: extensive carrier network and international routes; cons: longer transfer times and potentially heavier traffic to reach San Jose. Oakland International (OAK) functions more as a secondary Bay Area airport with a reputation for budget-friendly carriers and often lower-cost fares on domestic routes. It’s positioned on the East Bay, about 35–45 miles from downtown San Jose, and connections usually require a mix of the airport shuttle to BART plus Caltrain or a direct drive. Journey times can be 50–90+ minutes depending on traffic and transfers, with rideshare/taxi costs typically higher than local transit but sometimes competitive with SFO transfers. Pros: often easier check-in and lower fares on select airlines; cons: less convenient by public transit and longer ground travel to San Jose compared with SJC.
